Although the evacuation orders for numerous communities are being lifted, the Viejas Band of Kumeyaay Indians ordered its Viejas Casino closed late Wednesday as the Witch and Harris fires approached. The casino is adjacent to Interstate 8, 30 miles east of San Diego.

The Viejas Outlet Center is also closed.
